And it happened with the blessings of Kissinger too
And the King of France bought the rights to the defunct Byzantine throne
So, if Louis is recognized, then that makes him emperor of a good portion of Europe and the middle east
Well, most turks are bastardized greeks with arabs so yes there could be a reunion of turkey was abolished and they bend the knee to orthodoxy
However Louis is a devout traditional Catholic. But I don't think he would have a problem with Orthodox. Not like there's many left in "Turkey"
Who is the heir to the Holy Roman Empire?
And didn't the Queen of Britain's ancestors buy the British throne?
Buy???
Haha
Well the last bloodline to byzantium was from Constantine and I don't think that his bloodline have survived especially after the ottos occupied Constantinople
They excluded the Catholic heir in favor of a distant cousin who was Anglican
The anglos just need a new lionheart
The current King of England is a German guy, Franz von Bayern
How is the current line illegitimate?
He isn't interested. He has no kids. But the next in line to take his place, is so trad he had groomsmen dressed in medieval armor at his wedding
Franz is also the heir to the HRE
yes
how is the current line to Britain illigitimate.
But it can get a bit confusing considering how they made Kings and emperors
Because it wasn't supposed to go to a cousin
It would be something like if when Trump was elected, Congress ignored him and said Clinton was president
Our last king was from a germanic bloodline before we changed to "democracy"
Thankfully he was exiled for 40 years
That second cousin who took the throne was George I. Grandfather of George III of revolution infamy
To legitimize their heresy, they passed a law banning Catholics from being king
@Deleted User When they passed that law?
1701
lol...
<:smugpepe:445634631950139403>
It's still law
There was a brief discussion of repeal and what effect it would have on the monarchy, and the C of E
A country that prospered from Catholic rulers and they banned them'
wtf
Because by law, the monarch is the pope of the Anglican Communion
He appoints the bishops, who hold seats in the House of Lords due to their position
If a Catholic were to hold that position, then he becomes head of the Anglican Communion and unless he declares himself a schismatic, it means they would then reunite with Rome
Wait, England is protestant?
That would take the right to appoint bishops away from the throne and put it in the hands of the Catholic Pope
Well, after the schism the Pope had power over other catholic churches as it was one of the pentarchies so it was only logical for that to happened
happen*
